Deathly Hallows personal predictions -- NO SPOILERS

With Deathly Hallows just a couple of days away from release, I thought it would be fun if everyone posted some predictions about the book.  These don't have to include whether Harry will die or Voldemort will be defeated, but could be predictions about some of the lesser storylines, characters, and other things, based on your own deductions or gut feelings.  I'm looking for people's opinions, but not spoilers.  After we've read the book, we can come back here and see who's earned bragging rights!

I think the Bundimuns that have infested Number 12, Grimmauld Place will finally cause the building to collapse.  While Harry and his friends are looking through the rubble, they'll find the locket.

Harry will find Sirius' mirror, repair his own, and he and Ron will use them.

I was unfortunate to have come across some mean person's post on a HP fansite that purported to be the ending to the book before the site could take it down. He/she only posted who lives and who dies. I have chosen NOT to believe what that person posted, so here are some of my predictions:

1. I've said all along that I believe Snape loved Lily and will somehow lose his life trying to be of help to Harry.

2. I have to believe Harry will live...just from what JKR has said about Harry being like her own son, I would think she would want him to have a happy ending. (I am taking a firm stance on this...I just hope I'm not wrong).

My completely spoiler free, off the wall predictions 

1.  Winky and Dobby will get married and have a baby elf (is that an elflet  ) called Harry 

2.  Luna will pursue Ron and they will live happily ever after

3.  A Crumple-Horned Snorkack will wander out of the Forbidden Forest 

4.  I will read the book quickly the first time, carefully the second time and look for good prop and autograph possibilities the third time

Is there any other way to read the book?

I had a thought about the portrait of Sirius' mother.  It's on the wall with a permanent sticking charm.  What if there's a hole or space behind it that's hiding the locket?

That would be a good hiding place - everyone always just wanted to pull the curtains to shut her up.
